Hi I'm nearly 9 months in and I know that this is it now for life. It's become second nature but I do remember feeling quite low in the early days. I was missing some food items and I hadn't yet discovered many of the products I use now, or the amazing recipes there are out there. I was...

Hi I had a low iron count at my last blood test. I've been vegan for 9 months but vegetarian for 6 years. I regularly gave blood while veggie and I definitely make more effort to eat iron now than I did then. So I find it a bit odd. Anyway, I've started eating fortified cereal and that gives...

Great articles and advice ladies. I've not lost any weight since going vegan. But.. my weight is very stable, which is not something that I've ever experienced before. I'm going to think about my oil consumption.

:)

Hi Veganteen1 Thanks for the reply. I think I'm about half a stone more than when that picture was taken and losing that would bring me back to a better BMI. I think the thing that bugs me is that I've always been able to affect my weight, and now I can't seem able to. Thanks for the links...

You didn't do that on purpose. Don't beat yourself up about it. You are doing your best and a million times more than most people. You're a guardian angel to animals and that's your defining feature. :kissing_heart:

It's real, give it a go if you're brave enough. Maybe when you don't have to be amongst other people! Well done on being vegan for 2.5 months. :grinning:

Thanks for the comments, even though some came across as a bit of a telling off! To set the record straight. I became vegan only for the sake of animals, if I wanted to do it for health reasons, there are easier ways. I take flak every day from non-vegans but it will never prompt me to return to...

Hi fellow vegans It's been 7 months since I transitioned from vegetarian to vegan. It's not been too difficult and I feel really great. I haven't lost any weight which is quite disappointing, particularly as I exercise 4 to 5 times a week and limit the amount of processed food I eat. My weight...

Last night I had chargrilled celeriac on a berlotti bean stew at Bibis, Leeds. It was so tasty. Anyone chargrilled celeriac before? I'll certainly be doing it in the future. Delicious.

I follow loads of inspirational vegans on Instagram. Really helps to stop you feeling alone. And reminds you why you're doing it. Good luck.

I wish they would do the southern fired ones as vegan. I used to love those when I was veggie. Might write to them and strongly suggest they do!

Sorry for calling you Sojah, I read the wrong bit. Hi Fillipe!

Hi Sojah Totally agree with everything you've said and love your ethical attitude. I saw a meme the other day that said 'I stand up for what I stand on.' This is what it all comes down to for me. I want to do as little harm as possible. I hate how commercialism is pushing the earth to the...

Pinterest and Instagram are great for inspiration. Not only for sourcing recipes but also, particularly in the case of Instagram, for keeping you on track with the reason you're doing it. There are some fantastic and inspirational people on there. And on here to be fair.

I use hemp lip balm from the body shop. It's really good. I think my dry lips are caused by toothpaste. I'm going to try some of the paste from Lush, which is cruelty free.

I follow some really great Instagram accounts that help keep me on the straight and narrow. This one is particularly good for keeping me away from dairy! http://instagram.com/goatsofanarchy This woman looks after special needs goats who are victims of the dairy industry. There are some...

That's funny Paul. But I can totally identify! The best response I ever had was from a new colleague (a real meat lover) who said "cool! I've never met a vegan" He went to the supermarket at lunch and came back with some soya milk and a nut bar for me. What a cool guy!

Some people think that if abattoirs had glass walls, no one would eat meat. I'm not so sure, it would turn some people but there are those who really do not care. Thanks for the support guys, I'm still going strong with it. Not wavered once.

Thanks Bill. Found the website, looks fabulous, but they only sell to the US and Canada. Damn it!
